Chapter 32: A Good Place in the West Hills
Xishan is different, because it is relatively dangerous, the people in the village basically do not go to Xishan, and if they really want to go, they will only go around at the foot of the mountain.
Over time, Xishan became a small paradise for plants and animals. Not only are there more and more fertile wild animals here, but even the vegetation grows quite unscrupulously.
Yesterday, Mingyue accidentally crossed the realm because she was focused on finding medicinal herbs, and then she fell in love with this inaccessible treasure mountain forest uncontrollably.
Almost without much hesitation or entanglement, she decided to come to Xishan today. However, for the sake of her own life, she still brought Da Lang, San Lang and Jia Yan today.
Da Lang is the oldest and has the most strength, San Lang has the best talent, although he doesn't work particularly hard when he practices martial arts, but his skills are the best among all of them, and Yu Jiayan has a flexible mind and is the best at promoting his strengths and avoiding weaknesses.
With them following, Mingyue didn't plan to go deep into the hinterland of Xishan, she felt that her safety should not be a problem.
At first, Da Lang thought that Mingyue was the same as everyone else in the village, just wanting to get some mountain goods at the foot of Xishan Mountain, but unexpectedly, Mingyue walked to an area that others did not dare to set foot in.
He was surprised, and hurriedly walked a few steps to stop Mingyue, telling her not to continue to go deeper into the mountains and forests.
Mingyue smiled and told him that she had planned to walk in a little, "... There are a lot of weeds and wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain, but do you see any medicinal herbs growing somewhere? Didn't you? Not to mention the medicinal herbs, even wild fruits and nuts have long been plucked. If we don't go into the mountains, where are we going to get money? ”
Da Lang couldn't deny that what Mingyue said was true, but he still insisted on refusing to let Mingyue enter the mountain, "Then let's go to Nanshan, even if we can't dig much, it's better than letting you go to Xishan to take risks." Anyway, our grandfather has already saved enough money to buy land, and our family has no other place to spend money now. ”
Mingyue covered her face - she needed to adjust her facial expression, otherwise she was afraid that she would roll her eyes at her lobby brother.
She asked Mingxu, "Big brother, our family has another 20 acres of land, will my uncle, my father, and my third uncle continue to pull the plow next year?" Haven't you thought about saving up a little more money before the winter and buying a ploughing cow or a mule for your family? ”
Mingxu's face turned red, and he said to Mingyue with a look of shame: "It's the eldest brother who is not filial, and the eldest brother hasn't thought about it." ”
In fact, where is he unfilial, he is just used to this way of farming.
Mingyue hurriedly grabbed Ming Xu's sleeve and shook it for a while, she knew what an honest and honest young man Ming Xu was, she couldn't let this honest child be ashamed and blame herself.
"Big brother, what are you talking nonsense? Why is this still related to unfilial piety? Didn't you tell me yesterday that next year you will also follow your uncle and them to pull the plow? You just don't have as much flexibility as my brain, and it has nothing to do with filial piety. ”
San Lang and Jia Yan also nodded violently on the side.
Ming Xu is the best brother in the world for them, and they don't want Ming Xu to deny themselves like this.
Ming Xu was very moved, he touched Mingyue's yellow-haired mustache with red eyes, "Then let's talk about it first, you can't go to the West Mountain." ”
Mingyue nodded like pounding garlic, "Don't worry, I will only go a hundred meters further at most." ”
Ming Xu was completely relieved when he heard this, "Then you go behind me." ”
Mingyue didn't fight with him, she handed the two thick wooden sticks she had prepared a long time ago to Ming Xu and San Lang respectively, "This is for you to use to beat grass, see if there are snakes." ”
As for Yu Jiayan, the people had already prepared a wooden stick by themselves, so they didn't have to worry about Mingyue at all.
***
Mingyue and the others, who were carrying baskets on their backs and holding wooden sticks, carefully walked around the forest for about half an hour, and the baskets on their backs were filled with herbs.
San Lang was very excited, "No wonder sister, you want to come to Xishan, this Xishan really has more good things than Nanshan." ”
Mingyue was burying her head in digging a trap, and when she heard San Lang say this, she immediately raised her head and refuted the other party, "You are not allowed to sneak over, otherwise I won't have your share of the delicious food I bought in the future." ”
San Lang suddenly wilted when he heard this, "Then you will call me next time." ”
"No problem." Mingyue deserves to be called a neat and neat, "You are not allowed to show off with Shiro and Goro when you go home." ”
San Lang scratched his ears and cheeks, "What about the second brother?" Can I tell my second brother? ”
"Second brother can." Mingyue was obviously prepared, she told San Lang, "Don't whisper to the second brother in front of Shiro and Goro, if you want to say it, you can wait until there are only you and the second brother." ”
San Lang was a little impatient, "I know, I know, isn't it that no one can say anything except the second brother?" Just talk a lot! ”
Mingyue flew over with an eye knife, and San Lang immediately became honest - no way, he has a weakness in the hands of others.
Da Lang couldn't help but laugh when he saw it, "Let's send these baskets of medicinal materials to the third uncle and them first, and then let the third uncle and them help carry them down the mountain." ”
Mingyue nodded in agreement, "Just wait a minute, I still want to come over here to dig something, we can call the third uncle together." ”
San Lang suddenly became curious, "What is it?" What's that? You've found something good again, haven't you? ”
Mingyue replied to San Lang with a smile, "It's yams, and chestnuts." ”
Saburo couldn't help but scratch his head, "Why didn't I see yams and chestnuts?" ”
Yu Jiayan smiled and revealed the truth, "Because you patronized to find wild eggs." ”
Saburo thought about it, isn't that it?
He also followed Yu Jiayan and grinned, "Sister, are there a lot of yams and chestnuts?" ”
"Not old or young, indeed." Mingyue's steps are light - happy.
A group of four people rushed back to Mingtang and them, Mingyue said to Mingtang like this, Mingtang picked up a basket of yams and two baskets of herbs and was about to run home, "Sister-in-law, you and my family continue to dig, Erlang, you come with the third uncle." ”
Xie and Zhou were confused, but before the two asked, Mingtang, Mingyue, Mingxu, Erlang, Sanlang, and Jiayan had all run away.
Xie Shi had the heart to complain a few words about Mingtang's thoughts, but when she thought that there was Zhou's "husband maniac" by her side, she suddenly shut up very interestingly.
So, the two of them watched Mingtang and they took away all the baskets containing herbs and yams.
Confused, Xie and Zhou first silently dug up the remaining yams, and then began to help Tao, Shiro, and Goro start collecting nuts.
The five of them worked for most of the day, but only half of the baskets of nuts they collected - no way, Nanshan is really too popular, and now they are not so much harvesting nuts as picking up leaks.
In stark contrast to them are Mingtang and the others, these six people are like the little hamsters that store winter grain, and the baskets are carried out from the West Mountain one after another.
In order to avoid attracting attention, they also schemed to move the basket to the junction of Nanshan and Xishan.
